Abstract
Applying plant community diversity techniques and SPSS statistic analysis, we quantified the relationship between crown volume of 18 ( Sophora japonica ) tree communities and elevation along different elevation gradient in Ye County in the study. We concluded that there was a significantly positive correlation between crown volume of 18 ( Sophora japonica ) tree communities and elevation gradient ( P < 0.01). Elevation was the dominant environment driver crown volume of ( Sophora japonica ) tree communities increased along elevation from 50 m to 200 m in Ye County in 2018. Therefore, understanding dynamic connecting crown volume of 18 ( Sophora japonica ) communities and elevation can be not just applied to preserve of ( Sophora japonica ) tree communities, but also applied to sustainable of biodiversity and processes of tree community’s crown volume along elevation.
